- The 24-year-old Martínez was showing potential for a breakout season with a .239/.276/.442 slash line and a team-leading 11 home runs before his injury.
- Petey Halpin has been recalled from Triple-A Columbus to replace Martínez on the roster.
- The Guardians are facing challenges in scoring runs, and losing Martínez, a key power hitter, compounds their offensive struggles.
